Write, write, and write some more. When you feel like you want to quit, put your big-boy/girl panties on and keep writing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write more books. the new ballgame for indie authors is one of numbers. Sooner or later the big publishing houses are going to realize that the tools that indies are using to publish are tools that they want to control. Don’t let them.

What’s next for you as a writer?
More writing. And I want to finish THE FALLEN series and then branch into a Sci-fi space Western like Firefly series was. I got it all written in my head…
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?

And probably the 50 shades stuff to see what the hell everyone was so worked up about! I mean desert island, right? You gotta have something.
